Today's featured designer is Julie Comstock of Cosmo Cricket.I had the pleasure of meeting Julie and her husband Eric at a trade show.What a fun and talented husband and wife team.Hop on over to her blog to see what she has designed.

The quote of the day is:Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.Art is knowing which ones to keep.Scott Raymond AdamsScott Adams is the creator of…

Dilbert.

Stop by tomorrow for the quote of the day and hook up with my friend Kate Spain.

So am I wrong about the dates for making comments on each site? I Read for Kate Spain's sight she would be asking her question on the 27th and picking a winner on Oct. 3.

I'm new to shop hops so it's a bit confusing with each designer doing things in a different way. DID i mistake Kate Spains plans to announce a winner Oct 3?? I cliclied a link and there it was a winner on Sept 27th date

About Sandy

I have always had an interest in art and sewing. My mother taught me how to sew at a young age. In high school I made my own clothes and made greeting cards for my friends. Later on I made cards for my boyfriend, who later became my husband. On the advice of my high school counselor I did not pursue a career in art. I was told that an "A" in high school art does not make you an artist. In 1988 I set out to prove that counselor wrong (or right) and started a greeting card company, " My Dream Designs." In 1992 I combined my love of art and sewing skills and the pattern company "Pieces From My Heart" was born. In spring of 1994, I attended my first international Quilt Market in St. Louis, where I was discovered by Moda Fabrics. Many fabric lines later, I am thrilled to be designing fabric for Moda. Designing fabric allows me to work with different color pallets, which is my favorite part of designing. I reside in Algona, Iowa with my husband Bruce. We have two grown children, Anthony and Abby. Pieces From My Heart Books and Patterns are available at your local quilt shop or go to www.piecesfrommyheart.net
